I am still in the plankton, but I am happy with Ned's announcement that he wants to move away from User Interface development to concentrate on the blockchain.

This is the way a distributed marketplace is supposed to work.

Each of the pieces of a distributed system should co-evolve.

What has happened in STEEM-verse is that all of the development was building a dangerous dependency on SteemIt Inc.

The collapse in the price of STEEM and the inability of SteemIt.com to retain customers has the people who developed dependencies on the STEEM blockchain to come up with alternatives to that dependency.

I agree that there are some nasty fundamental problems with SteemIt. Instead of thinking of a hardfork, I am hoping that the people developing STEEM dependent dapps come up with robust alternatives to STEEM.

Evolution, BTW, is not simply people coming up with better ideas. It is about ideas developing in cycles with ideas emerging and dying off on a regular basis.

IMHO, Ned's announcement and the existential crisis faced by Steem based dapps is a good thing. It usually takes a generation or two to realize foundational mistakes.
